The couple, who made their relationship public in 2023 and recently got engaged, have stirred up mixed reactions online with their unconventional Valentine’s Day celebration.
For many, Valentine’s Day means flowers, chocolates, or a sentimental gift. But for Selena, the way to her heart seems to be something a bit different—cheese. And not just a small amount, but an overwhelming, bathtub-sized portion of it.
Rather than going for the traditional setup of rose petals or candlelight, the music producer created a scene straight out of a cheesy fantasy. A trail of tortilla chips led the way to the tub, where he had carefully arranged chips on the floor to spell out “I love you.”
The video showed the tub packed to the top with thick, yellow nacho cheese, surrounded by plenty of chips ready for dipping.
Despite the creativity, not everyone was on board with his idea. Many took to Twitter to share their thoughts, with some calling it ‘gross’ and ‘completely unhygienic.’
One unimpressed fan commented: “After this I would never want queso or chips again lollll,” while another bluntly described it as ‘f**** disgusting.‘
A third person kept their opinion short and direct: “Weird and a waste lol,”
A fourth person chimed in, expressing their disapproval: “I don’t know about that one… Eating off of the bathroom appliances it not romantic to me,”
Someone else joked about how literally Benny Blanco took the request: “She said she wanted something cheesy for Valentine’s and he took it literally,”
Meanwhile, other users criticized the gesture, calling it a ‘pointless waste of food’ and an idea that lacked romance or practicality.
One enthusiastic person shared: “I’d finish the whole tub in one sitting,”
Another fan reacted with excitement, saying: “That’s one way to win her heart!”
The buzz around Blanco’s cheesy surprise came just as Selena Gomez and her fiancé became the subject of jokes at the Golden Globes.
During the event, comedian Nikki Glaser kicked things off by saying: “Selena Gomez is here,” before continuing, “A double nominee tonight for Emilia Perez and Only Murders [In The Building], and she’s here tonight with her new fiancé Benny Blanco.”
The couple took the joke in stride, with Gomez playfully miming that she was the lucky one, while Blanco chuckled and gave her a sweet kiss on the shoulder.
